[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2.55 NOVA non-stem major with acceptances in hand from WVU (OOS COA $43k), Radford ($26k) and GA Southern ($36k). Four apps pending. Maybe a real shot at first choice! I was hoping for one acceptance. Despite 90%+ acceptance rates at 6 of 7 schools applied, I'm shocked. [/quote]

I am not trying to take away from your kid at all, but I bet WVU is actually a 100% acceptance rate...it's just that 10% of the applications are technically deficient...school never sends the transcript, or the kid never went to the WVU application portal and filled out their senior year courses.

WVU student population dropped nearly 30% when the plan was there would be more students today vs. 2013.[/quote]
We'll take it.  Still accredited (as far as I know) and it's not Liberty. [/quote]

It is a great school!  And if costs are only $43K (when OOS costs are listed as $50K) your kid got some merit or FA.

Personally a bit more than I'd be willing to spend for a kid with only a 2.55 in HS but good school.

PP. I agree about the cost. Fortunately it's the most expensive on her list. Much rather have a couple of others that are pending come through. Crossing fingers. Thanks. [/quote]
